In the last few years, Egypt signed Scientific and Technology Agreements with Europe with the aim of enhancing and facilitating research activities of common interests (2005).

In 2007, Egypt signed the Scientific and Technology Agreement with Europe to increase economic growth and competitiveness and to invest on research potential capacities of the Egyptian scientific community through its direct involvement in the European Research Area (ERA).Moreover, a Joint Committee (JSTTCC) was established aiming to identify political and research priorities for both Europe and Egypt.
